Palmerston’s Albany branch provides equipment for safer injecting and
prevention of Blood bourne virus and sexually transmitted diseases. We
distribute these items from the front office in Albany, and from
counsellors and support workers in the regional areas, where we provide
services.
We use these contacts with clients as opportunities to talk about ways that we can minimise any potential health issues associated with their drug use.
Equipment we currently provide free of charge:
• Medi Swabs
• Fit Packs (Fit stick units)
• Barrel Syringes
• Condoms
• Lubricant
